Grace

Lyrics:
My heart is so proud, my mind is so unfocused,
I see the things You do through me as great things I have done;
and now You gently break me, then lovingly You take me
and hold me as my Father and mould me as my Maker.
I asked you, "How many times will you pick me up
when I keep on letting you down?
And each time I will fall short of Your glory,
how far will forgiveness abound?"
And You answered, "My child, I love you;
and as long as you're seeking my face,
you'll walk in the power of my daily sufficient grace.”
At times I may grow weak and feel a bit discouraged
knowing that someone, somewhere could do a better job.
For who am I to serve You? I know I don't deserve You.
And that's the part that burns in my heart and keeps me hanging on.
You are so patient with me, Lord.
As I walk with You, I'm learning what Your grace really means;
the price that I could never pay was paid at Calvary.
So, instead of trying to repay You, I'm learning to simply obey You
by giving up my life to you for all that You've given to me.
